Any particular reason?

I chose the ENCODE_SECTION_INFO route for CRIS, because in a
perfect GCC, going that route would supposedly enable GCC to
optimize symbol references (for example, combining foo and
foo+N).  (Context: the UNSPEC route forbids GCC from looking
through the UNSPEC.)

Right, I *also* use (CONST) UNSPEC, for references that should
go through PLT, expanded at call and call_value.  No harm done
since function references are supposedly not combinable.
